So bloody excited my new non-desk is coming tomorrow! I'm going to regain so much room by mounting my crap on the wall!:D


Also, it's sit/stand so, I can dance and turk!:)

I got an email about a massdrop for $119. I found the exact same thing on Amazon for $123! Plus it comes with the cpu mount. The other didn't. I was looking at spending so much more on a sit/stand desk or a conversion. I'm putting my laptop on the tray so I can have my 3 screen setup like I do now. I'm getting a drafting chair for $80 in case I want to sit. It's gonna be mad productive n shit.:p

Tell me a story.
once upon a time there was a man named dor, and he had an insane girlfriend that asked him to do tons of crazy shit. like the time she and her family decided to fit 9 people 2 dogs and 2 cats in an SUV and drive from florida to NY and the van broke down in ocala FL. So D.O.R. stupidly rented a 15 passenger van and drove all the way yp to ocala to pick them up and they said they would pay him back but the only paid for gas on the way back, so d.o.r. was broke for the rest of the month and bitched about it on an mturk forum

One thing you can depend on is that Mturk is that it's consistently inconsistent. Any day can be hit or miss. Weekends are generally slower. Mondays it generally picks up. But, it's really all about the ratio of work to workers. Some of my best days have been holiday weekends where not much is posting but, I'm the only person doing anything.
Today, so far, right now, I have my highest projected earnings ever. Partially that is because I just submitted a certain very high paying hit, but part of the mturk game, I realize now, is making sure you get and complete those big hits. That is not the only part though, and I have been pounding it all day. Sort of. I can be a slackass lazy whiner at times. I just wasn't a slackass lazy whiner for as much of today as I have been on many other days, and I put my best mturk knowledge to work. There's no one secret. There are many little things that need to work together and they don't always work the same way.

Everyone runs their lemonade shop differently. Some can do transcription and stay busy forever, others batch like crazy, I go for big HITs with small filler. I average around $1 a HIT at the end of the day, most days.

Why can I only follow some quotes back with the little green arrow? It works for some people but not others. Is there a setting I'm unaware of?

I think I remember reading of other members reporting the same problem but I may be mistaken.

I learn more every day. Now that I understand I need to leave a turkmaster open in order to have HITS register, well....obvious. But those big HITS are still evading me. I scan as many forums as I can, I found HITS Notifier today as well. Fiding big hits or batches worth grinding is hit and miss. I tried like a dog to find out who the requester was that was redacted today, because even if I don't have the qual, I have no problem emailing to try to obtain it and thus far have a 40% success rate of getting a response. I made 75 my first week, 120 last, and I assume I will keep doing better the more I learn.
